The Search for Better Examples

1 & 3: We analyzed the CDQ rangefinders, noting that topic sentences, thorough explanation of the reasons and examples, and including mature, collegiate-level examples will give you a better opportunity to score a 9. Afterwards, we worked on one more CDQ practice activity to help us better select and order examples. First hour, we will finish that up first up tomorrow.

4 & 7: After vocab experts, we worked on brainstorming examples for abstract nouns. For each abstract noun, three of you volunteered your 3 examples. Then, as a class, we selected the top 4 examples, discussing maturity, audience, and variety concerns. Finally, we ordered these to convey what would be best for the hook and the order of the essay. We completed 3 rounds of this, and you will complete 4 rounds of brainstorming possible examples for these words: dishonor, empathy, faith, guilt.
